Over a year in the making, Maggot Brain's 'Stop and Breathe' is the culmination of a lot of self reflection, personal growth, bad luck, good times, and hard work. Recorded and mixed by the bands' own Ryan Slowey and Brett Portzer at North Sea Studios and Empty House in Albany, NY, and mastered by Carl Saff at Saff Mastering in Chicago, IL; 'Stop and Breathe' features 7 tracks melding hardcore, punk, doom, crust, grind, rock, and psychedelic influences into a raw, relentless, and painfully honest look into the hearts and minds of the group.
